Vancouver Animal Rights Campaigns (VARK)

Activists Uniting For The Benefit of Animals

Fur Free Friday at Winners November 23, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.


  • With 213 stores Canada wide, most Canadians have no idea that Winners is one of the largest, if not THE largest retailers of cheap cruel fur trimmed products in the country.

    WINNERS sells fur from many different species of animals like rabbits, mink and foxes and DOG FUR, ALL raised on cruel fur farms in several different countries including Canada, Netherlands, Greece, Finland and China.

    *Winners has recently publicly stated that they DO NOT sell raccoon dog anymore but they are still selling it under th

    e label raccoon which is a total lie and we intend to call them on it.*

    When contacting Winners in the past regarding their sale of fur they have stated “as long as it is in style, we will continue to sell it.”

    When a concerned customer contacted them in regards to a raccoon dog trimmed jacket they were sold and specifically told by Winners staff that it is FAKE FUR, their response was “well our staff are not experts on the subject.”

    The problem is that many of Winners fur trimmed garments are not labeled as real so people who wouldn’t normally buy real fur are doing so unknowingly.
